This RETRIEVER module is fully integrated with the Order Entry, Shipping and Receiving, and Products and Pricing modules, and provides a valuable tool in making purchasing decisions. The system calculates all factors required to set purchasing levels

RETRIEVER purchasing features:

• Sales history is used to define usage rates for all products.
• Lead times are updated by the system based on actual experience
• Allows for different purchasing, stocking and selling units of measure.
• Multiple vendor support for products.
• Based on safety stock policies, and review cycles by product line and vendor, sets line points and order points, which also can be manually set if required
• Automatically identifies seasonal products using parameter driven rules, and applies these rules for their purchasing and inventory control
• Extraordinary order handling so as not to affect salea and purchasing curves
• Purchasing by individual branches or by consolidation, deliverable to the separate branches directly by the vendor or to the main warehouse for redistribution
• Automatically prepares a “What to Buy Report” using parameters outlined above.
• Special orders (drop shipments, non-stock items) are flagged for special treatment by purchasing
• Non-stock and out-of-stock purchasing requirements are current as of all orders entered, since each customer order is available as soon as it is entered
• Supports multiple branch inventory control and purchasing, to facilitate control of lost sales by a branch, branch transfers, and inventory balancing
